SB 2339 affects medical care provided at licensed healthcare facilities by expanding the Texas Medical Board’s approval authority for graduate medical education programs. It prohibits healthcare facilities from rejecting physicians based on medical education or board certification obtained through non-traditional pathways that meet state standards. Additionally, the Health and Human Services Commission is required to revoke the licenses of healthcare facilities that violate these provisions. The bill also mandates that the Texas Medical Board recognize and approve graduate medical education accredited by organizations meeting state-established standards.
